Methinks this study protests too much. In schools, most classrooms are arranged in such a way that desks face one direction, forward. These sensors are logging data that is not truly in the range of spreading the virus. Last time I checked a kid never sneezed out of his ear to infect the kid sitting 5 feet to the left of him or out of the back of his skull to get the people behind him. The numbers presented are blown way out of proportion.
The study does however pose a good question. Should the students or the teachers get the vaccine? My vote is for the teachers since they look in the face of 25-30 loaded barrels every class, while students might get their neck coughed on by the kid sitting behind them.
